Creatures

Famous quotes containing the word creatures:

“O what venerable and reverend creatures did the aged seem! Immortal Cherubims! And young men glittering and sparkling Angels, and maids strange seraphic pieces of life and beauty! Boys and girls tumbling in the street, and playing, were moving jewels. I knew not that they were born or should die; but all things abided eternally as they were in their proper places.”
—Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)

“O curse of marriage,
That we can call these delicate creatures ours
And not their appetites!”

“Upon the creatures we have made,
We are, ourselves, at last, dependent.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
